Online teaching of "Energy & the environment"

The benefits and features of a 'Energy & the Environment' project are discussed. The goal of the project is to enable students at any of the University's 25 campus locations, to participate in the same high-quality, online, learning experience. The methodologies and techniques employed to transform an existing lecture-based resident class into compelling and engaging web-only learning environment are discussed. These approaches increased the level of active learning in the course, and the professor's dynamic nature and personality remained intact throughout the course through the use of audio, images and various communication channels.
